We resume today the brief sketch of Robert WATSON, Esq. as introduced in the 'Bay Pilot' on 18th ult. - His father's name was Robert Watson who emigrated from Scotland to St. Stephen about the year 1780. The present Robert Watson was the youngest son and St. Stephen is his birthplace. His father died in 1817 and the following year, young Robert left his native town and went to St. John, where he became initiated with the mercantile life in the counting house of the late Thomas MILLIDGE, Esq. After a term of years in 1826, he returned to St. Stephen; and soon received the appointment of Deputy Treasurer in the Customs Dept.; and subsequently appointed Collector of Customs in his native town. For nearly 32 years, Mr. Watson performed the duties of his office, and having a love for agricultural pursuits as well, he gave considerable attention to farming. Neither money nor pains were spared to make the soil productive and the large farm on the Old Ridge Road, a short distance from the town yet bears ample proof of Mr. Watson's liberality and industry as a scientific agriculturalist. In the year 1858 a change came in the official life of Mr. Watson, occasioned by the death of David UPTON, Esq. who was Cashier of the St. Stephen's Bank, and on looking around for a fitting successor, the lot fell on Mr. Watson. The St. Stephen Railway felt the energetic aid of Robert Watson in its first and every stage; and in the year of its opening, 1865, he opened as a Hotel known as the Watson House. The fire of the 14th day of May 1877 reduced this beautiful mansion to ashes. We find a short biographical sketch in the 'Canadian Illustrated News' of November 3rd, 1877, but as there are two errors in it, we take this opportunity to correct them. It is true that Mr. Watson was twice married; but his first wife was the daughter of Rev. Dr. Skeffington THOMSON, not Rev. D.G. THOMSON. Again his second and present wife was the daughter of William WHITLOCK, Esq. of St. Andrews, the father of the late William WHITLOCK and present Hallet WHITLOCK, Esq. and not a 'Miss McCullough' as erroneously stated. Capt. Thomas SMITH, another St. Stephen favorite is the son-in-law of Mr. Watson having married a daughter by the present lady. The first Mrs. Watson had two daughters, both died, and also two daughters by his present wife. (abridged)
